I would have done it if that would be an option. Apart from the fact
that my Apache DS runs on my local host and winpcap not being able to
capture packets on the looback interface (on Windows) I am not familiar
with LDAP enough to be able to judge what "searchRequest::typesOnly" is
or means.
Nevertheless thanks, I'm going to open a bug with the Apache DS team.
